  1. Is it.Roman's system? Or is it the passing talent he has had to work with? How much of the wide outs not signing here is because of the small cap this year and them wantinf one year deala?
  2. Let me tell ya how it is.... Typical reponse when talking about Lamar, yes we all know he is a stud, a beast... Yes, touchdown passes are nice.. But how far are they? Ok, he ran then down to the 30, or into the redzone then threw the touchdown pass. However, where are the game changing throws? We've seen 1 or two each season, the tough ones, down the sidelines while in the pocket, the back shoulder throw to save drives, win games. The quick strike long touchdown throw to change the game? Again, one or two per season.. Nothing consistent to make a defense back off. Sure, the run game is great, we can blame Roman for not calling play action, hard play action routes down the seam or behind the backers deep, consistently. But if Lamar is not hitting those, if he can't make those throws in practice consistently, how can Roman call those plays? I think we have a mixed back of blame here and yes Lamar does deserve some of the blame if you will, if he can't read the option, or make the throw....
  3. And now Stone, meh. Nice of each guy to help out, love bringing Wolfe back and his remarks on what the team is kooking for in a player.
  4. We've all complained about the route combinations used in this offense for, well, ever. Receivers failing to get open, or atleast appearing so... Then the all 22 came out for us to view, and in them, we can see the timing between when a Ravens' qb has time amd when a receiver should break open, if, when at all. What we do not know is what the progession is on each play, so being an objective observer is often difficult. Yes, I, we have seen when Lamar has had time, a snap and throw route, when he either didn't trust the wr to get open or didn't see that the wr should be open. We cannot know if he was suppose to see the right read we did or just didn't trust the read. It's no secret around the league, around the fan base that the Ravens have never had a top talent wr crop, but then, nor have they had a great passing qb, or have and have not built a line to protect him. Other teams get high milage out of lesser known wr's, NE, Seattle, to name two. The qb's are great, the lines were solid, the route combinations looked better than what we see here. This year Lamar has to prove he can throw, on time, accurate, and not just shallow crossing routes nor roll outs to same side oit routes or jump balls. Those are the routes teams in the playoffs sit on and why this team can't move forward.
  5. NFL Trade Rumors: Ravens Rework DL Calais Campbell & DT Brandon Williams' Deals, Create $4.5M Of Cap Room. https://nfltraderumors.co/ravens-rework-dl-calais-campbell-dt-brandon-williams-deals-create-4-5m-of-cap-room A move is on the move. I hope it isn't Watkins, no speed, often injured, lacks focus on easy passes...
  6. Not sure what this was but an oops
  7. What do we read into Ju Ju turning down the Ravens offer of $1.5 mil more than the Steelers who have an aging qb who can't throw it deep any more? What does this mean for Galiday, while they have to pay him 3x more than any other team to come here?
  8. He showed promise when given the chance, but he also wasn't given much of a chance to play when injuries were healed even when those players played poorly. So the question is why? Are we, the fans, missing something? Is he just one of those players the coaches don't like?
  9. Draft the center from Bama! (Yes I know he got injured last year)
  10. Skurah is gone to the Dolphins...
  11. Conditional pick for an I don't know how to catch tight end... Hmmm Could have traded with the Iggles for their often injured tigjt end.. But then maybe they tried and the Iggles wanted too much..
  12. Tyus Bowser brought back, good move, showed growth, works hard... Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports that Bowser has agreed to a four-year deal to remain in Baltimore. The deal is worth $22 million with another $5 million available in incentives and includes $12 million in guaranteed money.
  13. Intreaging, maybe a stop gap, some good tackles in the draft to sit behind, step in when he gets injured or leaves next year..
  14. Yeah, he doesn't seem like a Billy B player, keep your mouth shut and play hard EVERY snap...
  15. Agree, one of the most over rated players in the game. Corey Davis signs with the Jets, I am surprised. They don't even have a qb... It was for decent money, not too much, I wonder if the Ravens made an offer. He is a decent receiver, a bit inconsistent with his hands but he could have beem good here for that money.
  16. Yeah I just saw that itnis a voidable deal, cap shenanigans if you will. They likely are just giving him one year to prove he belongs as the starter, then looking for a qb.. Still, $140 is a starting pt for Lamar...
  17. 4 years, $140 mil ext for Tayson Hill, wow...
  18. Man, the Pats are trying to win the offseason, that never pays off. I know they have to spend the money, but wow
  19. 4 years $56 mil is quite high for him,
  20. Free agent guard Kevin Zeitler has agreed to a three-year, $22.5 million contract with the Ravens, according to multiple reports. Per NBC Solid move, he is better than what they had on the line last year... Next up
  21. Restucture of Mahomes saves $17 mil this year, but pushes the cap hit down the road. You can pay a ton for a qb, but you darn well better draft well to protect him. The Chiefs think they have with on tackle coming back due to injury the other who opted out because of covid. We shall see... Tampa is going the cheap way at qb, granted it's Brady. But they are going to have to pay dearly to keep that defense together. Timing is everything; you can't pay top dollar at every position especially with a small salary cap. Pay Lamar, but draft well around him. Hopefully he get his downfield accuracy worked out otherwise we will have a bunch of 10-11 wins seasons with a short post season...
  22. Brown getting 6 teams interested in him, but with KC releasing two very good, albeit injured tackles, that might drop his price... Ingram was a very good leader...
